I have a little more than a week left.
Was just told about this all. My father is dead so I will be walking my sister down the aisle. That part I knew for the longest time. Now it turns out I am also going to be playing the part of the Best Man, which I had no fucking clue about until just now.
Either way, my sister just advised me, in case nobody had, that I should start working on one to have it for the wedding.
I don't even know where to begin. I barely know a thing about the two of them. And google has resume, cooker cutter shit filled with things that I would never say and sound completely fake.
Fuck. I don't even know.
How did you not know you were going to be best man until now? Best man involves a lot more shit than just saying a speech

It was not discussed! And I hadn't done shit at all for the wedding previously.
It was literally, not figuratively,
>Uncle is going to walk me down the aisle. Been thinking about that for three years~
>You're walking me down the aisle
>"I'm what?"
>"You're walking me down the aisle now :)"
It's like she thinks we had that conversation before. But no, it never did. It was our uncle to me just randomly over some night like two months back.
Regardless, I was going to be a groomsmen though, because I wasn't previously walking her down the aisle.
Now sister tells me I'm the best fucking man and I need to prepare a fucking speech.
HOLY FUCK, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT IN IT NOW. MY SISTER HAS THE BAD HABIT OF VOLUNTEERING PEOPLE FOR SHIT AND NOT TELLING THE PEOPLE SHE VOLUNTOLD.

Wait, what else do I have to do?
I'm the best man in a week also.
Write from the heart or it'll feel fake.
Introduce yourself.
Write a small intro.
Throw in a few funny stories about the groom.
Flatter the bride.
Say something mushy about them getting together.
Maybe end with a quote.
Practice your speech every day. Try to memorize as much as possible. You want to feel comfortable and confident.
